TIRANA, Feb. 21 – In what seems to be another step ahead in the country’s integration into the European Union the government passed last week a decision on environmental impact assessment, which is considered as a big step towards environmental protection.
According to this law, any new building in Albania should first secure the environmental permit. It only excludes those projects designed for national defense.
